With 32% of women in Australia experiencing anxiety over their lifetime, Jean Hailes is proud to have partnered with MLC Community Foundation to develop this innovative evidence-based online resource aimed at preventing common mental health problems in women.

‘Anxiety: learn, think, do’ provides education strategies, self-assessment and a range of self-management tools for women. Visitors to the site can access information on the symptoms, causes and ways to manage anxiety across different life stages.

Jean Hailes is immensely grateful to Senator the Honourable Michaelia Cash, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women, who was present to launch this resource.

“There has been a significant gap identified in the availability of information for women diagnosed with low-level anxiety and anxiety disorders that is accessible, meaningful, and appropriate to their current life-stage. This is why an online resource such as ‘Anxiety: learn, think, do’ is essential. I am also pleased to see that primary prevention is a critical component of this online resource.” Minister Cash said.
